“The Mistaken Identity” by Stevie Burges

Submitted to Contest #93

Many, many years ago I decided to give up smoking. My smoking levels were high and definitely getting higher. If I could have only stayed at ‘a pack a day’ I’m sure I would never have noticed that I had a problem. However by the time I was on at least two packs a day I was beginning to understand that the addiction had a vice-like grip on me. I felt I had tried everything - except just giving up - and so finally decided on hypnotherapy. I can still see Mark’s quite large house with the upstairs room where he hypnotis...

“She Sang with TeraByte” by Addie .

Submitted to Contest #93

“Do I have to go?” whined Izzy. “Yes! C’mon, it’ll be so much fun!” replied Hannah over the phone. Izzy sighed, hung up, and stared around her room. Her white curtains gently fluttered against the breeze from the open windows, like liquid moonlight dancing on the ocean. The soft gray carpet was sprinkled with dresses, denim jackets, high heels, and makeup items, as though a tornado had been rampaging her room just an hour earlier. “‘It’ll be fun’, they said. ‘Go to the party’ they said,” Izzy mocked. “Ugh.” She marched over to her cl...

“DANCING WITH POOR MAN'S DAUGHTER” by Richards Ronnie Malunga

Submitted to Contest #93

DANCING WITH POOR MAN'S DAUGHTER"Donnie! Donnie!" His voices echoed as David was calling me to hurry up for his uncle's party."Just a minute" I replied. David's uncle, Trevor had a house just a kilometer from a small farming town we were staying. He was rarely inviting his cousin whenever he dropped the party, maybe because David's mother wasn't his blood sister.To his amazement, he was invited this time around. "You need to escort David tomorrow, I want you to keep an eye on him as you know David's characters so vividly" David's mother star...

“A CYCLE RALLY” by SHYAMALA BHUVANACHANDRAN

Submitted to Contest #93

Mahendran was very happy that he did well in the interview. He was waiting for letter of appointment from authorities. After a long crucial waiting --- when he forgot almost all about it, he got the letter. He was highly confident it was for his appointment only. He strongly believed there was no system of announcing about rejection of offer from any government department. In spite of knowing it, he was filled with suspense and with a great thumping heart, he opened the letter. On reading the very first few words, “We are pleased to inform y...

“The Half-Life of the Party” by Delbert Griffith

Submitted to Contest #93

Devon left for the party with a twelve-pack of beer and a mind full of reservations and misgivings about the whole thing. He returned home with ten beers, two awards, and a Dalmatian of indeterminant behavior. The only thing missing was the girl who wanted to sleep with him tonight. Thankfully. ___________________________ The guests were an odd assortment of university professors, graphic novelists, sycophantic undergrad assistants (is there any other kind?), science equipment suppliers, and Devon. It was bad enough, he thought, that this w...

“Skydiving is Hell” by Cameron Landers

Submitted to Contest #93

My cousin Jake manages “It’s a Party”. He comes up with ideas for people who got nothing better to do with their money. Some just want a disco set up and music going all night. He gets about 4,250 bucks for setting that up. He has set up a ferris wheel and a merry go round for 12 thou a night. Jake is always rollin’ in dough. He’s got about a dozen disc jockeys he can call, and a carnival of clowns to jazz things up, even a couple of nice looking strip teasers. I’ve even got a few bucks at those...

“I Didn't Want to go in the First Place” by Chris Rohe

Submitted to Contest #93

“Come on, Michael, you’re going whether you like it or not. It’s a Halloween party, for Christ’s sake, and you love Halloween,” Stephenie said over the phone. “Of course, I love Halloween and all the other festive seasons. You know I’m deep into traditions. It’s just that every time I go to parties, things happen.” “Every time you go to parties? I know we’ve only known each other for a few months, but I’ve never seen you at a party. Heck, I can barely get you out in public, period. I don’t get it? You are so interesting; with your educat...

“Sweaty Laughs” by Erik Pajer

Submitted to Contest #93

Sweaty Laughs The steam rose off the hot pavement as I drove down the secluded section of route 1. The tune of “Nevermind”, by Nirvana played on the radio, as I gazed at the landscape ahead of me. It was still morning, only a little past nine, but the humid Florida heat was already bombarding the earth with its inferno-like intensity. I was not in a particular hurry as I had no real place to be, I just didn’t want to sit in my apartment alone on a Sunday morning, so I decided to take a little drive out to the beach. The St. Augustine...

“My Own Spotlight” by Brittany Clark

Submitted to Contest #93

Who invited me to a party? I asked myself. Looking at an invitation with out a name insight of who'd it came from. Thinking I would be a fool to attend a party I have no idea about, so I threw it in the trash after driving my mind in many directions. "Knock Knock " As I walk nervously to the door not knowing who it may be. I'm sure it no one to be nervous about, I told myself. When I opened the door I discovered a pale white box tied beautifully with a purple shiny bow rapped around the box. No name? I spoke out loudly. I immediately opened ...

“Party Popstar” by Sam Okethwengu

Submitted to Contest #93

As a young boy,partying wasn't Sam's thing. He preferred playing football to many other activities besides schooling. His primary intention was to excel in education and then other things could follow. His mum could advice him not to misbehave but instead listen and respect people. This was part of sam to that is why events were not his things. Sam was my friend and a good buddy. I remember when in primary level,our school used to organise parties for the prefects,P.7 leavers,scripture union and many others. But to Sam it used to be like hea...

“The perfect party” by Ifechukwude Nwaodor

Submitted to Contest #93

My worst fear had become a reality. Jessi had invited me to the party. Just so you know, Jessi never invited me to parties,we had bad blood. I never cared that she didn't invite me because I wasn't much of a party goer. But this had a scheming plot twist written all over it. Suddenly, she invited me to a party she was throwing for Tony after she had found my love letter I had written to Tony last week during final rehearsals for the music fest and had boldly told me she was dating Tony and he had no interest in me whatsoever. Y...

“One Small Act” by Kayla Eichelberger

Submitted to Contest #93

On a warm, summery evening, as the perfect, clear sky slowly shifted from blue to bright pinks and oranges, then to purples and navy blue, Jane Hawkins thought she was going to vomit. Normally, Jane was calm and collected. At fifty-three, she couldn't be called elderly, though she was beginning to show some age - her hair was starting to gray and had been cut to her shoulders, and wrinkles had started forming, particularly around her eyes and mouth. She had no children to speak of, though she had several wonderful nieces and nephews s...
